The research conducted at ADEF aims to increase understanding of teaching and/or training systems, particularly the effects of policy decisions. Their effectiveness is assessed in organisations for the professional training of teachers and/or trainers, through interactions between pupils (trainees), teachers (trainers) and knowledge. The research is structured around three thematic axes: (i) the teaching-learning process, (ii) professionalism and professionalisation of teaching, education and training professions and (iii) educational and training institutions. The laboratory is structured into 8 programs:
